To ask why men have to wee standing up?

[AngeloMysterioso]

Why? Just why?

Fair enough if all they have is a urinal or a tree at their disposal, but if they’re in a bathroom with a toilet, why do they have to stand up?

My DS1 was doing absolutely fine sitting on his little clip in loo seat thing and just pointing his willy down, until my FIL in all his wisdom decided to teach him the joys of a stand up wee, and now I am constantly having to clean up puddles of piss on the floor from when he misses.

Why????????

This has always really pissed me off. the splash back on the back wall, the urine that gets around the hinges of the toilet and rots them, the stink of it. So glad that I'm gay and don't deal with this. Son sits. had a battle with him over it, but now he cleans up his own toilet, (and I mean properly cleans including the floor, hinges and around the outside of the bowl,) he miraculously stopped making a mess.

Once he was old enough, I made my son come and clean the toilet up himself. He soon started peeing sitting down.

I'm with you op. My ex taught our boy to stand up now I have piss everywhere in the bathroom

It's up to mums to teach their sons how to pee respectfullee

Surely it’s up to their bepenised parent?

Why do you do that!

Why don't you just ask them to return to the bathroom and clear up their piss?

Say what?

I've not come to any harm and been married to a stand up husband for 37 years and two sons!

I'll live

Do women routinely clean up their partner's and son's pee??

Separate bathrooms leads to along and happy marriage

I don’t know any women that hover so certainly not ‘most’. I normally wipe the seat before I go and I find if I hover I don’t go ‘properly’ and it’s people that hover who tend to leave piss/drips all over the seat. I carry anti bac hand wipes in my handbag and wipe the seat before I sit down.

They don't. Mine sits down & puts his old fella in the bowl & lets loose

This is a very good question, and as the mother of an adult son, I’m so wishing on hindsight I had bucked the trend when I had the chance. I’ve just asked DH why too and the only thing he could think of was, that’s what men do and it’s just traditional, so absolutely no sound reason at all.

Along a similar theme, when DS was toilet training (24 years ago) I bought one of those plastic stands and told him that if he found it hard to reach the toilet bowl standing on the floor, he could use it instead.

He literally took me at my word and a couple of hours later I found he had just turned the stand upside down and peed in that instead! 🙄

I'm lucky my husband sits down to wee, and always closes the toilet lid. We are both equally grossed out when we have visitors with terrible aim!

How filthy and gross to do that, and how awful for you to clean it up. I would be making them do it.

I have awful knees and have recently had to have a knee replacement, so I've been weeing stood up. Straddling the toilet. So much easier. I don't blame them! 😂

Though my DP and DSs are well trained and clean up any drips if there is any.

Leaning forward when sitting helps to drain the residual urine

Cheerios also float and are good target practice.

Staggered at all this wiping up of pee. I have a dh and a ds and the pee goes IN the toilet! Do they just have good aim?

I live with DH and ds (5) I don't have to clean up wee , I'm assuming this is because they generally have decent aim and if there are any accidents they clean up. I also wonder if it's because we have a taller than average toilet..... DH does often sit down for his first morning wee

My fabulous son (17) always wees sitting down (at home - no idea what does when out), and I'm so very grateful. He's a good lad!

I've sat down ever since I lived in a house with a carpeted bathroom.

It's impossible to aim with 100% accuracy as you never know how the stream will begin, sometimes it just shoots out to the side.

My DH and 3 sons all sit down. Standing up is for dirty losers 😀

Not going to lie...if I had a penis I'd definitely wee standing up.

I'm guessing that in biblical times, you'd be a pain in the arse (scuse the pun) to your regiment if you insisted on going off to find a piss pot every time you wanted to have a piss. Soldiers can stand up and piss anyway very very quickly and get back to their position.

And imagine years later when armour became a thing - sitting down for a piss in all that? Must have been bad enough when you needed a poo, clanking around like that, crouching, and nearly falling over with the weight of it. 😆
